A Spy in the House of Love - Anais Nin

A Spy in the House of Love is a novel by Anaïs Nin published in 1954. The novel follows the character of Sabina; a woman who dares to enjoy the sexual license that men have always known. Wearing extravagant outfits and playing dangerous games of desire, she deliberately avoids commitment, gripped by the pursuit of pleasure for its own sake.

In A Spy in the House of Love, Anaïs Nin expressed her individual vision of feminine sexuality with a ferocious dramatic force. Through Sabina's affairs with four men, she lays bare all the duplicity and fragmentation of self that is involved in the search of love.
